I certainly think that the Torch & Cap stories were no better or worse than say the Green Arrow stories and Wonder Woman stuff coming out at the same time.


Well, that's true as far as it goes, but Green Arrow was never a cover feature, and Wonder Woman is something of a special case, being the only female superhero, and with a contract that basically compelled DC to continue to publish the book.

On the rest of it, we'll have to agree to disagree. Had I been a contemporary purchaser of comics in 1953 rather than a gleam in my dad's eye, I would no sooner have bought an issue of Young Men than I would have bought an issue of Dell's mid-sixties monstrosity, Dracula The Superhero.
